I realised, ...Hi Jane - I really enjoy your blog! <br /><br />I realised, belately, that Hot Cross Buns aren't eaten worldwide but I didn't know about the use of the word 'cross'! The two things together probably account for some of the lack of interest - but I need to make bigger version of the bunnies for the SendaSmile site in any case so I'll take the opportunity to make the egg a better shape.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to trying my new crayons soon!Judy Adamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986456665704994228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813512259260074342.post-91021804659858343522012-02-13T12:21:48.287-08:002012-02-13T12:21:48.287-08:00your repeating pattern is good.

We have Hot Cross Buns here, but Americans don't tend to use the word "cross" to mean fed up.

...Thank you both for your comments and suggestions.<br /><br />Carole, I think I'm probably making heavy weather of the repeating patterns, doing some of it the old fashioned way and some of it digitally. It's a learning process and when I've discovered the quickest and easiest way to do it, I'll let you know so that you can do some too!<br /><br />Krysti - thank you for your suggestions. I think I'll still see if I can improve on the design itself but I'll take up your ideas as well and see what happens.<br /><br />Next week I'll explain the pun for anyone who doesn't get it :)Judy Adamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986456665704994228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813512259260074342.post-61564908217770222842012-02-13T09:48:27.924-08:002012-02-13T09:48:27.924-08:00I like the repeating design!

I think it turned out well in the end in spite of the difficulties! :D<br /><br />As for the bunnies, I agree with Country Mouse Studio about tweaking the keywords. We're permitted up to 40 keywords now, with 10 "power words," but I know I don't always use these effectively, although I do try.<br /><br />You might also try updating the product descriptions to include an explanation of the pun. Aside from that, creating as many varied items as possible using this design, (and making sure to individualize titles, keyword sets, and descriptions) might also gain this design a wider audience.Krystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04153290059324304337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813512259260074342.post-49375129805571397072012-02-13T09:20:21.469-08:002012-02-13T09:20:21.469-08:00That repeating pattern is impressive and not somet...That repeating pattern is impressive and not something I'm going to try. It makes beautiful items. I don't know why those cute bunnies don't sell well online could it be the keywords? Sometimes I've changed words or categories around and it seems to get noticed more.Carole Barketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18068078540295273489noreply@blogger.com
